Just to be clear: we were into Burkman Bros long before Kanye paraded around Coachella wearing the siblings' signature woven bracelets. In 2009, former Gap designers Doug and Ben Burkman started their own label, beefing up old standbys—like plaid shirts, twill shorts, and henleys—with subtle influences from their frolicks around the globe. And, in 2010, we donned them with a coveted Best New Menswear Designer nod. The bros still tally up over 100,000 miles each year venturing to exotic hotspots like India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar, collecting patterns along the way to incorporate into their line. Fresh off a recent trip to Waikiki for a "Surf and Bikini Bootcamp" (brutal, we know), the brothers spoke with us about their worldly necessities, like searing eyedrops, their favorite app to mash-up music, and the freshest goshdarn sashimi man has ever sliced.
